A bomber flies Northwards at height H above the ground, at a horizontal speed of V_0. The bomber is located at geographic latitude λ in the Northern hemisphere and flies exactly along a geographic longitude of planet Earth. A bomb is released from the airplane and falls to the ground.

A. Calculate the Coriolis Acceleration and the Coriolis Force.

B. Is the diversion Eastwards or Westwards? Explain your answer.

C. Calculate the distance between the point where the bomb hits the ground and the geographic longitude in question.

Expert Solution

Since bomb will be moving towards north , the force is to the right or eastward. Initial eastward displacement and veleocve are zero. Hence no constants appears in the solution of equation of motion. Time is obtained from vertical motion. By that time the coriolis force will shift the position from initial longitude.

Consider a projectile launched at a height h feet above the ground and at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the initial velocity is v0 feet per second, the path of the projectile is modeled by the parametric equations x = t(v0 cos(θ)) and y = h + (v0 sin(θ))t − 16t2. The center field fence in a ballpark is 10 feet high and 400 feet from home plate. The ball is hit h = 3 feet above the...

A ball is launched from the ground at an angle of 65∘ above the horizontal with a velocity of 22m/s. The ball hits the ground some distance away at a given speed, and bounces back up. When it does so the amplitude of both the x and y components of its velocity are half what they were. This repeats with the ball losing half of it’s speed on each bounce. a) Sketch the problem. b) Write the equation of motion...
